Diamond over Derry, PA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I saw a very bright light in the sky. At first I truly thought it was a plane. As the object got closer, the light's and object became brighter and larger in size. It looked like an enormous spotlight in the sky, heading towards us. It moved fast until it came close to us, then it moved almost in slow motion until I stopped in the middle of the road, just staring at it. I then pulled into the gas station, and was yelling at my husband to grab my phone and record . Repeatedly asking him, "what is that"? What is that?? I could see the entire underneath of it. It was a semi- diamond shaped object. I say semi because it wasn't EXACTLY a diamond shape. Under the object there were dozens of florescent lights, ranging in color from blue, green, red, and orange lights.. Underneath there was a semi circle of lights blue and red. Around the semi circle was a shape of a diamond or square depending on the viewpoint. The lights outlining the square/diamond shap! e underneath were green and orange in color. I am a person of sound mind, but this had me completely shaken. I was screaming at my husband, and honestly thought I was going insane. Never in my life have I seen anything like this. Ever. There's not a soul in this world that can tell me, nor convince me that this was a plane. It appeared to be 8 times bigger than any plane I've ever seen in my life. I am still very confused, and shaken over this. I will never in my life, forget this experience. For it has made me really think, over and over..... what did I see in the sky that night???

I am a United States Marine Corps 0311 infantry rifleman veteran. November 24th 2021 The sun was down and the sky was a bright pink/purple at dusk. My girlfriend and I were on our way to her mom's house in Latrobe, PA. She was driving and I was looking ahead when something that first made me think of a torn a dark plastic bag blowing in the wind. This wasn't moving though and I realized the wind wasn't really blowing at the moment anyhow. I'm baffled and am really zoning in trying to figure out what I'm looking at. It was difficult because from this angle all I could see is something thin and dark in a shape that I couldn't relate anything to. We are driving about 35mph and as I got closer I had the thought maybe something is caught on this telephone line or on some fishing line or something. As we got to a more parallel angle to this object I could see it perfectly. It was about 6 feet to the right and a foot higher than the telephone pole. My eyes went from the mysterious black object to what was connected to it at the bottom. It reminded me of a flat steel beam bent in the shape of a C just floating there. Not making a sound and having no other obvious body. On the metal I could see maybe 12 or 15 bright orange circles evenly spaced apart. I couldn't tell if the orange circles were omitting any light or not. It almost looked like the clouds through the center of the C were slightly distorted. Almost how heat waves can distort an image, except these heat waves were locked in place by a separate gravity. I suspect the rest of the craft was cloaked with extreme technology. We drove passed it and I looked forward and thought to myself "I better look back because I'll never see another one again." (That's the moment I first took it in that is a UFO and the months leading up I have had a weird urge or craving to see a UFO) As I look back it is still there and I see it rotate on its axis as if to look at us. It's rotation was effortless and mesmerizing to watch due to its seamless and masterful movement. It looked slightly different in shape, a little fuller but still a C, from that angle and after it turned to watch the car drive down the road. When I 1st saw it I was probably 150 meters away. There is a large empty field to the right and then some trees about 50 meters past where I spotted the UFO. So I could only see it maybe 80 meters after we past it. I didn't say anything to my girlfriend while it was happening simply because I was trying to figure out what it was at first and when I did I was so amazed I just looked at it with my mouth open slightly! I asked if she saw as soon as I couldn't see it anymore but she said she didn't. I will always regret not telling her to stop. I was not afraid at all. I feel like they are open to communicating with me and ever since this sighting I have had over 100 lucid and or vivid dreams about UFOs landing and interacting with me. This C craft I saw is unlike anything I have seen or heard of in regards to a UFO and it looked like it was cutting edge technologically the top. I suspect the black torn plastic looking peice on top had something to do with the acceleration.

On my way to work, using a side road to hit a major highway, off to my left there were orange-ish lights in the sky. I stopped, and went in reverse then stopped to make sure what I was seeing was real. I pulled out my phone and recorded for a few seconds, looked at the lights for a bit longer then took off down the road as not to be late for work.
